Bio

The Rebirth, is a Los Angeles based septet built on an organic blend of new and traditional Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Funk. In this day of solo artistry, what distinguishes The Rebirth from most is their returned emphasis on the soul band, where each member is recognized for their participation, and each influences the direction of the overall sound.

In this unified effort, The Rebirth’s strength is not only present in the chemistry provided by the instruments but also in the group’s dynamic harmonic vocal layering. Groups such as Earth Wind & Fire, Ramp, Pleasure, Rotary Connection, Side Effect and Roy Ayers have served as models to the re-introduction of this forgotten sound. But before you dismiss The Rebirth as a retro act, the prevalent influence of modern music floods the room. Juxtaposed to a classic Fantasy Records release, Jill Scott, The Roots, & Jazzanova, find home in the same CD changer. You can never listen to enough music, and however subtle, it will have some influence in your artistic development, says Loslito. A forgotten standard has been set with the influential artists mentioned above, and though the use of samples and computers, a notable evolution in music, the crafting of the great song and the great record is simply not as commonly achieved as it once was. The Rebirth pays special attention to everything that makes a song find it’s own greatness. Melody, rhythm, lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, performance and production are equally important and emphasized. Like an amazing human performance, greatness does not mean perfection it simply means in this case, that through the sweat and the challenge, The Rebirth is prepared to fully represent the return of the quintessential soul band.

This is a compilation of Exclusive Recordings. These songs have been Exclusively selected to inspire "Political, Social and Conscious Change" towards "PEACE" and for your Enlightenment, Entertainment and Enjoyment. =)

Bio

San Fransico born singer/songwriter Jasmine Lee attributes her early eclectic appreciation of music in part to her family's longstanding tradition of artistic involvement, beginning with her maternal grandmother's brief flirtation with the Broadway stage. From a lineage of painters, actors, writers and musicians, notwithstanding her counter-culture upbringing with her actress mother, with whom she shared many a stage, the tone was set for her very unique evolvement as an artist in her own right.

Beginning at age four Jasmine joined her mother with small roles in two plays on a national tour with the New Shakespeare Company of San Francisco. Recognizing early on that her chief interest was in music, she joined the Peace Child Honor Choir, performing at age 10 on the Network Television special, “The Barbara Mandrell Show.” Following her acceptance at Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California, she joined their madrigal singing group, placing as a winner on tour at the Reno Jazz Competition with her own rendition of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless the Child”. Throughout her high school years, Jasmine’s deep interest in singing motivated her to express her talent by forming a accapella singing groups which performed locally.

As a graduate of Wesleyan University in Connecticut , where music was her major, Jasmine has been trained in all genres of music. In addition to performing in numerous campus productions, Jasmine studied everything from Javanese Gamelan to experimental music. She also interned at Sony Music studios, and began to write and record her own music. Upon graduating from Wesleyan, she attended the Los Angeles Recording Workshop where she enhanced her knowledge of studio engineering. While living in New York City , Jasmine Lee performed in several venues in and around the city, and trained with vocal instructor Don Lawrence. She recently moved back to her home town of Los Angeles , where she is currently working on her new album for independent release this summer. Her ear for blended harmony and her love of music, ranging from jazz standards to electronica, makes Jasmine Lee’s sound truly “Enlighten and Eclectically Unique”.

This beautiful young lady writes all of her lyrics and melodies, and boasts an impressive list of musical influences like Bjork, Minnie Riperton and Ella Fitzgerald. “I love the pure sounds of these singers,” she comments. “Not only were (are) they technical masters, they were (are) able to fully convey the essence of who they were (are).

When asked what special message she would give to others on the same musical path, Jasmine responded “You have to believe in yourself and really want to succeed. If anything in your life is holding you back from fulfilling your dreams, let it go and move forward".

And perhaps even more importantly, embrace the opportunities that come to you.
